| | House d’Valrois is one of the most feared and enigmatic noble lineages in the galaxy, its name whispered with caution even among the Anzati themselves. While most Anzati choose to live as wandering predators, the d’Valrois family cultivated the art of structured predation—folding hunger into politics, ritual, and legacy. For centuries, their estate on Anzat and secondary holdings on Corulag stood as monuments to refinement balanced with menace. Portraits of ancestors line marble corridors, their painted gazes cool and accusing, as if testing each generation to live up to the house’s grim renown. |
| | |
| | The d’Valrois reputation was forged in blood and manipulation. Early progenitors were known for orchestrating wars in which they never raised a blade, but always reaped the rewards: feeding on fallen generals, absorbing the essence of poets, or enslaving rival houses through debt and psychic compulsion. Where other noble houses sought alliances, d’Valrois thrived on domination disguised as grace. To dine with a d’Valrois was to gamble one’s will; to cross one was to invite ruin. |
| | |
| | Even within Anzati society, where predation is accepted, d’Valrois inspired unease. Their refusal to hide behind wandering anonymity—insisting instead on public grandeur, fine courts, and cultivated art—marked them as dangerously visible predators. This visibility was not weakness, but strategy. The house believed that power only mattered if it was displayed and feared. They became arbiters of style and slaughter, their family name synonymous with elegance and inevitable demise. |
| | |
| | It is into this crucible of vanity, art, and terror that Lucien was born. Unlike many Anzati hybrids, whose hunger consumes them in secret, Lucien was trained from infancy to embrace the dual nature of his legacy: the courtly mask and the predator beneath. |

Character History
House d’Valrois
House d’Valrois is one of the most feared and enigmatic noble lineages in the galaxy, its name whispered with caution even among the Anzati themselves. While most Anzati choose to live as wandering predators, the d’Valrois family cultivated the art of structured predation—folding hunger into politics, ritual, and legacy. For centuries, their estate on Anzat and secondary holdings on Corulag stood as monuments to refinement balanced with menace. Portraits of ancestors line marble corridors, their painted gazes cool and accusing, as if testing each generation to live up to the house’s grim renown.
The d’Valrois reputation was forged in blood and manipulation. Early progenitors were known for orchestrating wars in which they never raised a blade, but always reaped the rewards: feeding on fallen generals, absorbing the essence of poets, or enslaving rival houses through debt and psychic compulsion. Where other noble houses sought alliances, d’Valrois thrived on domination disguised as grace. To dine with a d’Valrois was to gamble one’s will; to cross one was to invite ruin.
Even within Anzati society, where predation is accepted, d’Valrois inspired unease. Their refusal to hide behind wandering anonymity—insisting instead on public grandeur, fine courts, and cultivated art—marked them as dangerously visible predators. This visibility was not weakness, but strategy. The house believed that power only mattered if it was displayed and feared. They became arbiters of style and slaughter, their family name synonymous with elegance and inevitable demise.
It is into this crucible of vanity, art, and terror that Lucien was born. Unlike many Anzati hybrids, whose hunger consumes them in secret, Lucien was trained from infancy to embrace the dual nature of his legacy: the courtly mask and the predator beneath.
Philippe and Marguerite d’Valrois
Lucien’s parents embodied the dual essence of the house, shaping him into what he is today.
Philippe d’Valrois, his father, was a strategist of cold ambition.

About Him
Personality
Physical Description
Lucien’s skin is pale to the point of chiseled alabaster, almost luminous under dim light, with a subtle cool undertone that gives him an ethereal, otherworldly appearance. His face is sharply sculpted, with high, angular cheekbones and a narrow jawline that emphasizes both elegance and predatory precision. A straight, narrow nose balances the symmetry of his aristocratic features, giving him the calculated refinement of someone accustomed to observing and controlling every detail.
His eyes are a piercing blood-red, the subtle corruption of the Dark Side visible in their depth, and framed by long, straight lashes that contrast with the sharpness of his gaze. They are narrow and slightly upturned at the edges, giving him an ever-present air of amusement and menace. When he fixes his attention on someone, it feels like his eyes are dissecting them, a gaze unsettling and yet alluring
Lucien’s hair is black, shoulder-length, and meticulously straight, falling in a sleek cascade that gleams faintly in light. Typically, he wears it tucked behind his ears, tied loosely at the nape, or pulled into a ponytail for combat—practical yet stylish, a visual extension of his controlled, deliberate demeanor.
His body is slender and wiry, deceptively lithe, like a cat ready to spring, with toned musculature trained for both agility and subtle strength.. Long limbs lend him a graceful, almost dancer-like poise, though there is a quiet power in every movement.
Lucien has no visible distinguishing marks, scars, or blemishes. Every aspect of his physical form is polished and deliberately maintained, giving him an appearance of both elegance and menace. Even in close quarters, his presence radiates refinement and danger, the perfect image of an aristocrat predator.
When standing still, he seems to effortlessly occupy the space around him: a sharp contrast of beauty and threat, like a raven perched at the edge of candlelight poised to strike, yet composed in every measured gesture.
